In Oct '18, we achieved our Andy Warhol moment, with a 15 minute segment on ITV4’s Made in Britain
That was then, this is now; look around our new premises, see our new (old) machines, discover how things have changed, while still remaining the same. Made by us, made in Shropshire, made in Britain.

We remember the days of Slimcea bread, Ryvita, grapefruit & cottage cheese diets.
We have thoughts on the new appetite suppressants, but aren't qualified to pass clinical opinion.
There's no denying their impact on eating habits at home & eating out.
Diet or not, sometimes small is just right.

Just published on my blog a recipe for, plus history of (natch), toad-in-the-hole.
It's a classic and often on lists of the weird foods Brits eat. I have no idea why...it's quite simply one of my favourite meals.
Enjoy! X

What's for dinner?
That very much depends on what I can find in the fridge; the final florets of a purple cauliflower, some overlooked mushrooms, & a handful of walnuts for protein & crunch. Cream and LOTS of black pepper.
Just add pasta.
